On the heels of the escalating Covid Delta variant crisis, President Joe Biden announced the launch of a new aggressive six-pronged battle plan that will impact an estimated 100 million Americans and companies and organizations across the country.
Requires employers with more than 100 employees to provide paid time off for the time it takes for workers to get vaccinated or to recover if they are under the weather post-vaccination.Actions to ensure all schools consistently implement these science-based prevention strategies recommended by the CDC so that they can remain open for in-person learning and maintain the health and safety of all students, staff, and families.
“His focus was not on changing the minds of the unvaccinated. He cited the scientific consensus on the effectiveness of vaccines, using slogans, such as ‘free, safe, and convenient,’ to emphasize his point, but did not provide the detailed explanation needed to change minds. Recognizing that he was probably not the right person to make a pitch to many of the unvaccinated, he encouraged their personal doctors to do so,” he noted.
“Those that are not mandating vaccines are considering whether they can implement premium differentials in their health plans to penalize employees who won’t get the vaccine. Wellness regulations currently permit incentives and penalties for taking legitimate health-related steps, so a Covid-19 vaccination incentive should be permissible. I would expect that the Biden administration would move to help employers by explicitly issuing guidance to permit these incentives,” she said.
